Chapter 339 Black Cloud

Otto Apokalis had a dream, a dream so beautiful that he knew it was a dream from the beginning.

He dreamed that he was lying alone and bored under the shade of a big tree, lazy and free.

But this peace did not last long. A naughty child's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, resetting the time that had almost stopped at that moment:

"Uncle Otto! Uncle Otto!"

"well……"

Otto spit out the leaves in his mouth and sat up helplessly.

"What's the matter? Marcel, are you so angry?"

"Hahu-hahu-hahu-"

The young nephew was breathing heavily, but when he was about to speak, he suddenly forgot what he wanted to say. He stood there stunned for a few seconds and muttered:

"Uncle Otto, the plane you made for me last time was broken. Can you help me repair it?"

"Huh? Of course."

"Then...Uncle Otto, how about you just teach me how to make an airplane?"

"Huh? You like doing this too?"

Otto saw Marcel hesitate for a moment, but quickly nodded firmly, and a happy smile instantly broke out on his face.

But before the smile lasted long, the corners of his mouth twitched crazily——

"You two!!!"

Marcel's reaction was far more intense than his. The young nephew was so frightened by the sound that he trembled all over. He turned around and stood side by side with him, looking at Lisa who was walking towards the two of them quickly.

Lisa Shaniat raised her hand and gave each of them a chestnut, then gently stroked their foreheads, then sighed and shook her head:

"Marcel, I asked you to call Otto to the church. Why did you...and Otto, you won't forget...today is your own wedding, right?"

"wedding?"

Otto chewed on the word and made sure he heard it correctly.

"Hey! There are really people who can even forget their own wedding!"

Lisa put her hands on her hips and shook her head in confusion, then her expression turned teasing:

"Or is it that the thought of marrying Karen made our little Otto so excited that his memory was confused?"

"Lisa, you...just be normal..."

Otto was really uncomfortable with the fact that his sister, who had never given him a good look since she was a child, was suddenly so enthusiastic.

But the next moment Lisa tore up all the "pretense". She raised her eyebrows and grabbed Otto's ears:

"You idiot, Karen has been waiting for you for two hours. Do you still want to get married? If so, come with me!"

"You, you, you... let go first, Lisa!"

Although he clearly knew that this was a dream, Otto still couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth that slowly turned up, not only because of the upcoming wedding, but also because of——

"If only Lisa could really be so gentle, if only Marcel could really be so innocent... it would be great."

…………

The door of the church slowly opened, and the colorful glass filtered the dazzling light from the outside world, leaving only the softest part to shine on the smooth and new floor tiles. But there was no need to worry about the church being too dark, even when the outside light was the brightest. At dazzling noon, the white candles in the church will not be extinguished, because they are the sacred fire from heaven, which can burn the sins of everyone in the world equally.

Otto followed suit, and his movements were so slow that it made people wonder if the floor tiles were too slippery to allow him to walk too fast.

No, it was actually just that he didn't want to go too fast. He knew that Karen was waiting for him at the end of the road, but he was even more afraid. He was afraid that if he walked too fast, the dream would disappear faster.

Along the way, he saw Francis, who was supposed to be buried in the fire from heaven. He was stroking the stubble on his chin and smiling stupidly. He seemed quite satisfied with his son-in-law.

He saw that William's right hand was intact, and saw Otto walking by. He turned and said something to a group of brothers and sisters. Everyone's laughter was a little noisy, but there was no malice.

He turned around, and Marcel ran to nowhere again. Lisa winked at him, pursed her lips, and motioned for him to walk faster and not to keep Kallen waiting too long.

Only then did he realize that he had already walked all the way.

Turning his head again, his father Nicholas held the cross high with one hand and pressed the Bible with the other, smiling and blessing him silently.

And Kallen stood in front of him, not wearing the black and white Valkyrie uniform, but wearing a snow-white wedding dress, and stretched out her hand to him——

"You are finally here, my great inventor."

Their eyes met, Otto smiled and held his hand.

But the next moment, the style of painting suddenly changed, and the warm and soft light around her suddenly became hot and dim. The smile on Kallen's face gradually solidified, her eyes were full of disbelief, and blood overflowed from the corners of her mouth, bit by bit. The drops fell on the snow-white wedding dress, blooming into slender blood flowers.

Otto was caught off guard by this change. He opened his mouth to shout something, but what came out of his throat was a beast-like roar.

He lowered his head and saw a body that was no different from Honkaimon, and his right hand was shaped like a scimitar, completely piercing Kallen's abdomen.

"Otto..."

Kallen raised her hand, as if she wanted to touch his face, but this frightened the latter into involuntarily retreating, and also pulled the scimitar-shaped arm out of Kallen's abdomen.

"O... Tuo..."

Kallen staggered forward and took a step forward, then fell heavily at his feet.

Otto looked around blankly. There were blazing flames all around him. The dark night sky was smoked into crimson. Various shouts and cries for help resounded through the sky. At the end of his sight, at the door of the church where he and Kallen were getting married, a gallows of unknown meaning stood tall.

"These... all of these were done by me?"

Otto opened his mouth, but could only whimper like a monster. He hugged his head in pain, and the sharp blades of his hands dragged a long wound on his face.

"No... No! This is a dream... It's just a dream!"

The severe pain finally made him sober a little, and he began to look for a way to get out of the dream, but it was impossible.

"Void Wanzang! Void Wanzang!"

This dream was too clear, and his consciousness was too clear. He didn't need to think about who was the masterpiece.

However, no matter how he shouted in his heart, Void Wanzang didn't give the slightest response.

He was left alone in this desperate dream. After an unknown amount of time, he watched the flames around him burn everything in his sight. In the end, even the dark soil was ignited, and only the towering gallows remained.

After an unknown amount of time, the colors of everything around him began to fade away. Everything seemed like a sketch, composed only of the most basic lines, but the flames were still burning, and the gallows was still standing.

Until Otto's consciousness began to blur, until he himself could not tell whether the dream was a dream or reality, until he seemed to be sleeping in this dream forever...

"Otto! Otto! Wake up!"

"Uh!"

All the lines disappeared in an instant, and the whole world was left with only pure black. Then, gentle light leaked in in the form of a gap--

Until then, Otto realized that he had opened his eyes.

"Uh...Karen?"

He sat up from the camp bed, his head was abnormally heavy due to long sleep, and he shook it gently, and he could feel his brain churning in his skull.

But he didn't care about so much. He turned his head and looked around, but there was no figure in the military tent.

"No... No, I just heard her voice..."

Dreams are a very strange physiological phenomenon. Some dreams that seem strange are actually closely related to reality, and even have a certain prophetic nature. Maybe some dreams that you don't pay much attention to will correspond to a distant or not distant reality exactly?

Otto knew that the previous dream was affected by the Void Ten Thousand Treasures, but he didn't dare to bet that such a future would never happen, and he didn't dare to speculate what this dream meant. He just wanted to see Karen quickly and make sure she was fine, immediately, right away!

He pulled the collar of his shirt and jumped off the camp bed, but he covered his head tightly because of the severe pain.

He seemed to be too panicked, so he ignored the fragrance of purple irises that filled the entire tent.

Fortunately, Karen didn't let him wait too long. The curtain was soon opened, and Karen walked in with a small wooden basin.

"Huh? You woke up quickly."

She chuckled. Just now, she saw Otto showing signs of waking up, so she went out to prepare water, a washbasin, and a towel for washing.

However, her movements were a bit too "Kaslana". The water was full and the movements were quite large. After a few "clangs", at least half of the basin of water fell on her Valkyrie uniform.

Otto couldn't control himself and glanced at it quickly, but he couldn't see anything.

The Valkyrie uniform is generally pure black, and in order to prevent tearing in battle and provide some "insignificant" defense, it uses an extremely special special fabric that only the Apokalis family, or more precisely, his father, Bishop Nicholas, knows the source of. Even if it is stained with water, it will not get wet, but as Otto saw, the water condenses into round beads and rolls off the combat uniform.

Although he saw nothing, he turned his face away with a guilty conscience, but in the blink of an eye he snatched the wooden basin from Karen's hand again, complaining with a barely perceptible smile on his lips:

"You are a Valkyrie, you should do less of this kind of thing."

Karen stuck out her tongue, but did not resist, instead she stuffed the towel and a bunch of toiletries into Otto's hands.

"No way, who told you that you don't have a servant now?"

Otto didn't answer in a hurry, but washed and wiped his face carefully first, secretly calmed down his mood, and then slowly asked knowingly:

"Don't you have a combat mission today?"

"No——"

Karen sat on the small stool, tidied her bangs, fanned her palms gently, and answered casually:

"Uncle Luca said to give me two days off, after all, his future... after all, you finally came to the front line, he asked me to spend more time with you. As for combat missions... it's summer now, the weather is hot, and Ming people don't want to fight. There are only some simple patrol missions, Eleanor and the others can handle it completely."

"Really..."

Otto blocked his hands with his body, pinched the empty backpack, and it was empty.

"Hey! Otto! How about I take you to a place and meet someone?"

"Huh? Who?"

Karen winked slyly and said something shocking:

"My daughter!"

…………

"Please, Karen, tell me the whole story next time..."

On horseback, Otto tidied up the wet hair stuck to his forehead, grabbed his collar and turned his head to look. There was a burnt yellow mark on his collar, which made him a little unhappy.

He was sweating a lot, not just because of the hot weather, but also because Karen's previous words frightened him all the way. It was not until they were about to reach their destination that she told Otto what the so-called "daughter" meant.

"Why, are you really scared?"

Karen smiled apologetically. She just wanted to play a joke on Otto, but she didn't expect the latter's reaction to be a little too strong...

"Maybe I underestimated my position in his heart..."

Thinking of this, Karen quickly curled her lips and turned her head away.

"I'm not wrong! What? An adopted daughter is not a daughter? Shanyat likes to adopt orphans!"

"That's Shanyat. Their family has its own special characteristics..."

Otto instinctively retorted, and seeing Karen staring at him, he whispered:

"You... you are still so young... do you need to adopt an orphan?"

Seeing Otto's voice lower, Karen seemed to realize that her behavior was a bit inappropriate-

After all, she was Otto's fiancée, and the orphan she adopted would also be Otto's adopted daughter, so when she made the decision to adopt, she should have informed Otto first.

But Kaslana was Kaslana after all. When she met that girl, she made the decision in a rush. When she wanted to write a letter to Otto to explain, she heard the bad news that the three thousand people were wiped out.

So, in the final analysis, she did this without considering the consequences.

However, just as she was hesitating whether to apologize to Otto, she found that the logistics camp was already close at hand.

As the general logistics base for supplying more than 100,000 soldiers in the front, it was of course impossible to be clustered with the headquarters camp, but was located ten lorries behind the headquarters camp.

This distance is not far, and the infantry can reach it in half a day, not to mention that the two were riding horses.

After a little thought, Karen finally chose to keep silent.

"Captain Karen... uh, this is... Master Otto!"

The captain of the guards on duty at the sentry saluted, "You are here to see Vera, right? In the morning, she and several other children adopted by the Shanyat family were playing in the No. 3 Valley Pile. Now, you'd better ask Miss Kedra."

"Got it, got it!"

Kalen waved her hand readily. Just as she was about to dismount, the horse she was sitting on suddenly kicked up. As a Valkyrie with rich combat experience, her body reacted first. With her hands, she was about to take off from the horse's back.

But before she finished this set of movements, Otto rushed over, hugged her tightly in his arms, and threw her on the grass beside her.

It was the first time for such an intimate hug. Karen's whole mind was completely stagnant at this moment, until the warhorse kept neighing and the soldiers' scolding woke her up.

She squeezed out of Otto's arms, and the two horses she and Otto rode raised their hooves and rushed into the logistics base, knocking the piled food everywhere.

The original mules and horses in the camp also became restless, and there were many who were as manic as the two horses, but most of them were frightened by the soldiers' scolding.

"What happened?"

Karen sniffed lightly, always feeling that she smelled an invisible "smell".

She was quite familiar with this "smell", it was...

It was the result of a large amount of Honkai energy accumulated!

"Karen, look there!"

Otto held her shoulders and gently turned her body to the direction she came from.

There was no idea when the place was filled with thick black clouds.
